Ingredients

Scale

1 cup warm milk (105-115F)
2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup butter, softened
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon salt
4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
For the Filling:
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
1/2 cup butter, melted

Instructions

In a large bowl, combine warm milk and yeast. Let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
Stir in granulated sugar and softened butter.
Beat in eggs and salt.
Gradually add flour, mixing until a soft dough forms.
Knead on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
Punch down dough and roll it out into a large rectangle on a floured surface.
Spread the melted butter evenly over the dough.
In a small bowl, mix brown sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle evenly over the buttered dough.
Roll up the dough tightly, starting from the long side.
Pinch the seam to seal. Place the roll, seam-side down, into a greased 9×5 inch loaf pan.
Cover and let rise for another 30-45 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350F (175C).
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For an extra rich flavor, you can add a cream cheese frosting after the bread has cooled.
Ensure your milk is warm, not hot, to activate the yeast properly.
Adjust cinnamon and sugar in the filling to your preference.
This bread is best enjoyed fresh, but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
